Olympia 2021: The Schedule for Day 12 – Sports

Track bike: After the women’s gold, the German men will also start in the 4,000-meter team pursuit. Theo Reinhardt (Berlin), Felix Groß (Leipzig), Leon Rohde (Hamburg) and Domenic Weinstein (Villingen-Schwenningen) probably only play a minor role in the medal decision from 10:59 a.m. Apart from that, German cyclists are also challenged in the preliminaries in the Keirin and the Sprint.

Beachvolleyball: Of the original three German duos, after Laura Ludwig and Margareta Kozuch left Tokyo on Tuesday, only the team made up of Julius Thole and Clemens Wickler is still in the competition. The World Cup runners-up will meet Vyacheslav Krasilnikow and Oleg Stojanowski from Russia in their quarter-finals on Wednesday (2 p.m.) in a new edition of the World Cup final from two years ago.

Athletics: There are also some decisions to be made in the Olympic Stadium. The women’s 400 meter hurdles (4.30 a.m.) will start – without German participation. It looks different over the 3000 meter obstacle: Gesa Felicitas Krause will fight for precious metal from 1 p.m., she should definitely have a chance. In the hammer throw (1:15 p.m.), the 800 meters (2:05 p.m.) and the 200 meters (2:55 p.m.) of the men, medals are awarded without German finalists.

Equestrian sport: As early as 1900 in Paris, a prize competition and competitions in high and long jump were on the Olympic program. In Tokyo, the show jumpers are now the last of the equestrian competitions. The decision will start at 12 noon: Daniel Deußer (Rijmenam / Belgium) with Killer Queen, Christian Kukuk (Riesenbeck) with Mumbai and André Thieme (Plau am See) with Chakaria fight for medals.

Rings: Frank Stäbler’s dream of an Olympic victory in the class up to 67 kilograms burst on Tuesday. On the other hand, Denis Kudla, who was the only German medalist in Rio de Janeiro in 2016, has a chance of winning bronze via the round of hope.

Swim: From Tuesday night at 11.30 p.m. Leonie Beck and Finnia Wunram will be looking for medals. “The water quality is even better than the standard, but you still only have around 30 centimeters of view here. That means that we have to lift our heads out of the water more often to orientate ourselves than elsewhere,” said Beck before the race. As well as third place in the World Cup, Haley Anderson (USA), Rachele Bruni (Italy) and Xin Xin (China) are favorites.

Skateboard: The youngest German athlete in Tokyo starts. The Berliner Lilly Stoephasius starts at 5.30 a.m. in the skateboard discipline Park. The favorites, however, are others: Sakura Yosozumi, Misugu Okamoto (both Japan) and Sky Brown (Great Britain).

Table tennis: The German table tennis teams are in the semi-finals and fight for the medals. Bronze winners Dimitrij Ovtcharov, Timo Boll and Patrick Franziska could secure a medal with another success against Japan from 12.30 p.m. Before that (from 3 a.m.) the women challenge the seemingly overpowering Chinese women against whom they lost the 2016 final. In the event of a semi-final defeat, there is still the possibility of bronze.
